QPR manager Harry Redknapp is keen for a reunion with his former Tottenham
striker and Defoe could be available for £6.6 million

Harry Redknapp is actively attempting to complete deadline day deals at Queens Park Rangers for Sandro, Jermain Defoe and Niko Kranjcar, as well as Lassana Diarra.

The Diarra transfer should be announced imminently but the club are also working on further reinforcing the central midfield with Sandro, who played under Redknapp at Tottenham.

Redknapp is also interested in signing Defoe following the £10.5 million sale to Chelsea of Loic Remy. Defoe is in London and available following a spell with Toronto FC, with QPR currently exploring the possibility of a deal.

There is also interest in other strikers, including Ajax's Kolbeinn Sigthorsson, Liverpool’s Fabio Borini and Dynamo Kiev's Jeremain Lens.

Arsenal earlier turned down the chance to sign Defoe. Kranjcar spent a year on loan at QPR and Redknapp would also like to include him in his squad this season season but that deal is currently more complicated.

Shaun Wright-Phillips will be allowed to leave QPR today and the club are also no longer interested in Aaron Lennon.
